“Satisfactory location and facilities.”
Parking was convenient. The hostel was near Cannery Row, and the kitchen facilities allowed us to cook our own meals.Above all, the drive on Route 1 from the hostel was fantastic.

“Walkable location to everything!”
The location is incredible! A 5 minute walk to Canary Row and a few minutes more to all the seals! The Old Wharf is about a 20 minute walk as well. I took the shuttle from San Jose Airport and walked to the hostel. A walkers dream location! Everything was very clean and very comfortable beds. Loved the pillow! Favorite hostel I've stayed at in the US.
